Was there any connection between the revised tale and King’s initial drafts for the comic series regarding Lobo, as Gunn mentioned earlier? To clarify, Lobo was part of the story in early stages. However, Gunn made it clear that this Lobo isn’t a blend of elements from the original, but instead, he is undeniably Lobo himself.
In essence, Gunn explained that Woman of Tomorrow from the comics is actually a collection of smaller stories. To make a more conventional, three-act narrative, they introduced Lobo as a separate character, not a combination with Krem. He’s an individual in his own right. Gunn admires Lobo and has always thought he was a fantastic character to bring to the big screen. He believes that Lobo might be one of the most iconic comic book characters yet to appear in a film, making it exciting to finally adapt him.
It’s unclear yet how Lobo (played by Jason Momoa) will fit into the narrative, given that Krem (portrayed by Matthias Schoenaerts) is still a significant figure and central character in the movie. It’s delightful to learn that Momoa’s Lobo won’t need to adapt his role for the story, but can instead stay true to the original character when he joins the film.

Adapting a cherished tale by altering a significant aspect is often fraught with danger, and this modification isn’t an exception to that rule. If Lobo isn’t skillfully incorporated into the movie without undermining the elements that make the story compelling as initially conceived, it could be disheartening for longtime comic book fans, and potentially disrupt the film’s impact on new viewers too. Gunn appears optimistic about their strategy, so let’s hope it proves effective when the movie premieres in theaters.
Gunn also mentioned Milly Alcock’s casting as Kara Zor-El (Supergirl) and shared that he had been contemplating suitable actors for this role for a while, similar to how he considered Lobo previously. “Milly was exactly who I suggested to Peter Safran when we were discussing potential choices,” Gunn explained. “Before we even got hired, I told him about ‘Woman of Tomorrow.’ It seemed fitting at the time it was released. I’m a huge fan of Tom King’s work. Strange Adventures is my favorite, followed closely by Mr. Miracle and Human Target. He has created some amazing comic series, including Black Canary. I’m really looking forward to seeing what happens next week,” Gunn added.
In another context, Gunn responded with a nod of approval, saying “This is fantastic!” Then, the conversation shifted to discussing who would play Supergirl. Gunn suggested, “Have you seen House of the Dragon?” The character I’m thinking of was the little blonde girl from that show. I envisioned her as a small, spirited yet feisty character. So, she was the first name that came to mind. Once we received her audition tape, I exclaimed, “She’s quite charming and talented!
